      abstract = {This long-term study assesses how well 485 student teachers participating in a teacher education program in Kerala have developed their core teaching competencies. To evaluate progress in five crucial teaching domains?planning, presentation, closing, evaluation, and classroom management?competences were measured at two stages: entry-level and exit-level. The General Teaching Competency Scale (GTCS), created by B.K. Passi and M.S. Lalitha, was used to gather data. The impact of gender and location was investigated using statistical analyses, such as ANOVA and t-tests. Regardless of gender or location, the results show notable gains in all teaching competencies from entry to exit levels, with female students demonstrating superior presentation abilities at the entry level. The study highlights the need for ongoing advancements in curriculum design, practice teaching, and soft skills training while confirming the efficacy of teacher education programs in improving teaching competencies.},
